A Cascade poem for Potlatch
A Walk-In by damommy


A walk-in closet - every woman’s dream.
To store her overflowing wardrobe,
a regular one just won’t do.
 
When shopping for a new home,
it would be a strong selling point.
A walk-in closet - every woman’s dream.
 
A proper place for every item,
shelves, hooks, nooks and crannies,
to store her overflowing wardrobe.
 
Every lady knows
when it comes to haute couture,
a regular one just won’t do.

Author Notes
The challenge was to write about 'A walk in . . . '

The Cascade poem does not have any rhyme scheme; therefore, the layout is simple. Say the first verse has three lines. Line one of verse one becomes the last line of verse two. To follow in suit, the second line of verse one becomes the last line of verse three. The third line of verse one now becomes the last line of verse four, the last stanza of the poem. See the structure example below:

a/b/c, d/e/A, f/g/B, h/i/C

To make the Cascade an even longer poem, use more lines in verse one. For example, if verse one has 6 lines, the poem must have seven stanzas so that each line of verse one is reused as a refrain in each following stanza (a cascading effect).
